Two years ago, the monument was going to be demolished if a new home couldn't be found. Suggestion for a relocation to Cooktown, the Esplanade, JCU University, and even Kier Shorey's garden came up, but no one wanted him.

There were several lots of graffiti written over Cook's plinth...however I can't recall seeing what they said. However, the statue is an icon of Cairns, and I'm quite impressed with the new paint job. Go, maroons!
